I can't write into words the physical difference, I can just tell between Asians, whether they're Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, or whatnot. And Asians that were born and raised in Asia physically look a lot different than Asians that were raised here in the states.

Sorry that my answer is useless.
It's just an Asian thing.
I thought the word chinki is used just here in India. Here people even name their kids as chinki. I didn't know that it isn't a polite term.

Btw, why the word Asian is used interchangeably for Chinese and Koreans is western countries? I mean even Arabs, Indians etc are Asians.
